SIGN OF ILLUMINATED CLOCK. Spitz DEATH OF YOUNG FAY. Shot Himself at the Astor House ard Died in the Hudson St Hospital Cause Still Unexp'ained. NEW YORE, June 1IOrlando K. Fay, the young engineer of Winchendon.

Mass, who shot himself in a room at the Astor house, yesterday afternoon, died at 7.30 a today at the Hudson et hospital. The young man, although fatally wounded, was conscious up to midnight last night, but soon began to sink rapidly and soon became delirious. He remained in this state until the end came. Dr Brandreth, the house physician, says the bullet undoubtedly grazed the heart and that the suicide bled to death Internally. The coroner took charge of the body and again telegraphed the young man's relatives in Winchendon, but none of them have yet arrived, nor have they given any instructions as to the disposition of the body.

Tomorrow Dr Ferguson of the hospital corps will perform an autopsy and later, should not relatives come to claim the body, it will be removed to the morgue. Nothing developed today to throw any further light on Fay's motive for suicide, and It is still thought that despondency over his misfortune drove him to the act. ENDEAVOR TO MAKE A CHEERFUL HOME.

MINER. During the evening the entrance to the house was besieged by anxious inquirers. Telegrams were received from several parts of the country from relatives and frienus who had been notlited. asking if the messages which were sent to them could be true. as it seemed almost incredible that the end had come so suddenly and unexpectedly.

He was looking forward with keen delight to his vacation. which was to begin Jtay Thursday he was especially busy- In the afternoon he went to Franklin, where he had been invited to attend the graduating exercises of Dean academy and to make en address to the pupils. He was very much interested in the work of this school.

Car Houses of the East Middlesex Street Railway Destroyed with Their ContentsTotal Lost About WOBURN, June 15Fire destroyed the car houses of the East Middlesex street railway company, Salem st, this city this morning. The tire wtts discovered at 2.20 a m. In a very short time the whole structure and its contents were enveloped in flames. which made it difficult for the firemen to get near the burning pile. The cause is unknown.

although it is thought the fire might have been due to an over heated motor on one of the late ears housed in the night. In the ear house. which was 100x250 feet. were 35 street cars of all kInds, as well as other rolling stock of the company. All this property was destroyed.

The damage is variously estimated from $35.000 to $50,000. Of which amount about $20,000 will fall on the building. A general alarm was given for the fire. and by hard work the firemen prevented the flames extending to adjacent buildings. During the progress of the fire the whole city was as light as day, and the whole population seemed astir in anxiety and interest concerning the blaze.

The town is handsomely decorated and the stars and stripes are to be seen everywhere.

X. 0 -S fl- Boiler Explodes Men; RUINS FALL RIVER. June 14The imprisoned steam burst the boiler which held it in bonds at the Langley loom harness factory in this city early this morning. and the obedient servant of mankind became master and murderer. The big building went up in the air ands fell fiat on the ground in an instant, catching fire, crushing out and burning out human life.

Four dead, a dozen injured, and scores of narrow escapes. 'together with a financial loss of perhaps $20,000, is the record to be written. The dead: Robert Murray, aged 2L Adele Dube. aged 18. Lena Horton, aged 17.

Adolph Bellefeuille, aged 49. The injured: Thomas Hanle, Matilda Durocles, Alice Trembley, Angele LaCroix. Matilda Champagne, Mrs Lola Lepage. William Russell. James 11.

Warren. August Penechal, Anna Partridge, Joseph Nuttal. Annie Hurst; numerous others very slightly. Some Cx operatives came out of the debris unscathed, mirabile dictu. and but few of the employes in the cotton mill within 50 feet were even scratched by the flying brick and iron which went through the windows.

Engineer Paulin Le Page was placed under arrest. A state boiler inspector declares that one of the plates of the boiler was defective, and in his Opinion, the engineer was not to blame for the explosion. There is mourning here tonight, mourning for daughters. dead or maimed. mourning by widows for children who were their main support.

mourning by children for a father lying lifeless in the home, mourning by sisters for their brothers. Thank heaven that the list of killed, which according to early reports numbered nearly half a hundred, has dwindled to four, and that the most. if not all of the rescued. are on the high road to recovery. Little Tommy Darla and Miss Matilda Durocles, with their severe burns and wounds, are in the most danger, but the attending physicians are hopeful in their cases.

Fall River has not witnessed such a scene since the granite mill disaster 21 years ago. Engineer Le Page was allowed his liberty by the police late in the day 1 without any bail being required. ALL THE EARTH TREMBLED. Timbers Crashed, Iron Snapped, Then Were Heard the Groans of the Wounded. FALL RIVER.

June 14A hiss of steam and a mighty roar and the very earth trembled for miles around. Silence for a second. then came a crash of timbers, a crunching of bones, a snapping of iron. Silence reigned again save that one passing along County st could hear cries of distress now and then, and perhaps the faint crackling of flames. At 8.20 a today, the SO-horse power tubular steel boiler in the basement of the three-story loom harness factory of Henry J.

Langley exploded. The walls were blown outward. the floors and the roof sailed skyward and then descended, one upon another, and the bricks in the chimney had shot in all directions with the velocity of rifle balls. Smoke began to curl up out of this mass of splintered beams and twisted girders The fire alarm bells clanged and there was a whirl of engines and the rush of throngs of people. All was excitement.

AU sorts of rumors went abroad and were taken for gospel truth. None of the operatives of the demolished shop could be seen, so it was believed that 40, the number usually on the pay roll, were there buried. Eight hundred men and women came dashing out of the cotton mills close by, the windows-of which looked as if bombarded by a Thousands were gIV hered at the scene by that time, and tht fire was soon extinguished. The groans of the imprisoned victims were plainly heard. The police and a gang of sewer laborers, strong and willing, the hook and ladder truck men, urged on by the mayor of the city, set to work in earnest to pull away the standing walls, the proStrate roof and the piled up floor.

The little boy was taken out alive. The two girls. the young man, and the father of 10 children were found lifeless as time went on. But it was a slow task, and it was nearly 11 o'clock before the fourth body was exhumed. Meanwhile, women who had been thrown out through the windows and up against the neighboring cotton mill, came limping along, and those who in some way or other had escaped from the factory, they knew not how, came I 1 L.11 I kV A I 1 114tib -0 kt, f- ff 1 .1,1,, ,1 i 77,,, Al 1 II 1 I 'I-it 'I.

The charred bodies were removed to the temporary morgue in Star music hall. which had been prepared by the orders of Medical Examiner Dolan. The forms and faces were hardly recognizable. and there was not a stitch of clothing left.

Rings and watches assisted in the Identification. Doctors and clergymen were on hand In numbers from all sections et the city. They were busy for hours binding up bodies of the wounded or consoling the broken hearted. Police patrolled the ruins until night. They watched over the blackened timbers, the hole where the boiler had been.

the pieces of the old boiler itself, which lay scattered in three far, separated spots. the main relic of it bristling with twisted tubes, with the appearance of a porcupine which bad run up against a stone wall. State inspectors cut up the iron plates to be tested later, and carried off a section of the safety valve. That there were not operatives killed and a score or more injured in the Stafford cotton mills is no less remarkable than the escapes of some of those in the wrecked structure. Missiles of size and force sufficient to kill were hurled through rooms where a hundred men and women were standing at looms and frames.

As it was, Anna Partridge, a weaver employed on the second floor. sustained injuries in the head by being struck with pieces of the shivered window panes and flying splinters. Her head was cut so seriously that she will be unable to return to work until next week. ENGINEER LE Joseph Nuttal and Annie Hurst and a number of other women in the mill received injuries from the panes which swept across the rooms In small fragments. The four-story east mill of the Stafford factories was located within a few feet of the Langley building.

In it there were working 400 men and women on looms and spinning frames. Simultaneously with the roar and shock which terrified the operatives, every window on the east side and a large proportion of those on the opposite longitudinal section were shattered. Bricks from the chimney of the harness mill shot through the windows and into the rooms with a velocity that carried them clear across the rooms even in the top story, through the opposite windows and out into the mill yard beyrtnd. It was Lot only one or two but nearly a score, any one of which would have killed any one coming in contact, were hurled among the crowd of operatives, leaving large indentations in the walls where they struck. In the second story the west wall looked as if some vandal had been at work with a sledgehammer.

Large pieces of wood, splintered by the concussion, tore away window sashes and fell among the machinery. The terror was increased by the 'entrance of two dangerous elements, fire and hot water. Flaming brands made their way into the rooms and one landed on a loom where Margaret Pa ridge was at work. Catching in the roll, it ignited the cloth and the operative was so bewilddered that she didn't know whether to extinguish the fire or let It destroy the whole cut. Maggie hunted around the mill for the overseer and asked him if be thought she ought to pour a pall of )0, 1 1..

Hot water from the wrecked boiler was sprayed into the Stafford mill, and the shower soaked the leather coverings on the rolls of the looms and spinning frames. The soaking damaged the coverings. and they had to be replaced. These forces liberated by the exploding boiler terrorized the entire mill. and the frightehed operatives pushed down the stairways with such wild recklessness that it is a wonder many were not trampled on and injured in the mad flight.

As it was, all reached the street safely. but could not be induced to return, so the east mill was shut down until after the noon hour. Trees Frank W. Brightman of the Stafford mills estimates the damage to the buildings, machinery and cloth at from $1000 to 1.1)00. Langley's loss is insured for $10.000.

During the afternoon the bodies in the temporary morgue were removed to their late homes. DEAD AND WOUNDED. MMM ft. Many Escapes So Narrow as to Be Almost Miraculous. FALL RIVER, June 14The dead are here described, together with the fate they met beneath the falling timbers and In the midst of flames: Robert Murrars was the first body ta'ken to the morgue where be was Identified by Mr Tripp.

One of the arms was raised above his head. as if warding off a blow or fighting to free himself. He was an attendant at St Mark's church and the principal support of a widowed mother. He worked In the finishing room on the top floor. At the tround of the explosion he started to run with August Penechal, but slipped and fell.

The falling walls and roof crushed him and probably killed him Instantly. The body was afterward burned so badly that the members of the family were advised not to look at It It was taken to Winward's undertaking rooms. Murray was a bright, manly fellow. 16 years of age. His mother Is Mrs Annie Murray, a widow, who keeps a boarding house at 3 Weybosset et.

Robert lived with her and was growing to be her I main dependence. He was a general favorite at the works. Adele Dube, one of the knitting-room girls. was killed. Her body was crushed under the rolls and she met Instant death.

Her face was badly burned, and she was identified by her clothing. Miss Dube was the daughter of Arthur Dube. a grocer at 433 Pleasant at. Their home Is at 13 Avon at- She was nearly 19 years of age, and had been working in the harness shop about four months. 1 After resting in the morgue till after examination and the medical examiner had given permission for removal, the body was taken to the home of the girra parents.

Lena Horton was the other girl killed. She worked In the knitting room. Her home was at 60 Jencks at, where she lived with her widowed mother, Mrs Julia A. Horton. Mother and daughter both attended the Baptist chapel on Harrison at, and the pastr.

Rev W. H. S. Hascall spdlite very highly of the character of the young girl. She was only 17 years of age.

The body was removed to the home of her mother. 1 Adolph Bellefeuille of No. 9 4th st.1 aged 49 years. was the last to be taken from the ruins. He was found about 10.55 near where the boiler sat.

His body was minus hands. feet and bead. and the trunk was fearfully charred. Recognition would have been impossibll but for the finding of his pocket book and watch alongside of the body. Both the latter were identified by the victims son.

A coat picked up in the ruins containing two letters addressed to Adolph Bellefeuille Jr. some little time before the discovery of the body led many to believe that not only the father but also the son was missing. The son. however. was not at work In the.

building. Mr 13ellefeuille had been In the employ of Mr Langley for some five years. He leaves a wife and nine children. Those who escaped death, their manner of escape, so far as they could tell the story in the midst of the excitement. and the injuries they sustained, are here described.

The rescue of Thomas Dante of No. 20 County St. aged 14 years, was per-baps as nearly miraculous as any. He was at wo -k on the second floor, almost directly over the boiler. when 1 the explosion occurred.

He was partially stunned, but did not lose his 1 senses, but said that he felt the build-1 Continued en the Fifth. Page, 1 1 'II.
